    "editor1": "<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore&#39;s (RCB) fresh recruit, Tim David, who is set to replace New Zealand&#39;s Finn Allen, will become the first Singapore international to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Tim David has joined our squad. A power-play player, can become straight swap for Maxwell and de Villiers,&quot; said RCB coach-cum-director of cricket Mike Hesson in a media interaction on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While David isn&#39;t the first player from an associated nation to play IPL -- Ryan ten Doeschate of the Netherlands has played for the Kolkata Knight Riders -- his arrival brings a new, Southeast Asian flavour to the league and adds to the prevailing Australian one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He is of Australian descent. His father Roderick David is an Australian who had also represented Singapore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The junior David, a right-handed batsman and an off-spinner, had played 14 T20 Internationals for Singapore and is a freelance T20 cricketer having played in the Big Bash League, Caribbean Premier League and Pakistan Super League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His latest assignment was in The Hundred tournament in England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 25-year-old scored two hundreds and a fifty in the Royal London One-Day Cup recently, aggregating 340 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 150.44.<\/p>\r\n",
